The Four Travellers.
BY WILL CARLETON.


They were telling their experience-just small
band of that race,
Whose religion oft illumines cen the darkness of
the face;
Whose true fancy passes limits that cold reason
cannot reach;
Whose expressions are more accurate for the rude
of their speech.
And they drew their ilustrations-not from an
cient lore profound, 81
But from nineteenth. century wonders, that are
scattered all around.
And one said: "Pm goin' to hebben in de row.

An I'm pullin' mighty lively, for to win de heb
benly race"
But the leader said: "Be careful; for de arm OBJ
flesh may fail,
An de oars may break, or danger may come ridin'
on de gale;
And be sure you make de boat large; for no Chris
tan can afford
To say NO to any helper who desires to step
aboard
And one said: "Pm goin' to hebben in de sail
boat oh de word;
IN my faith, it stitched de canvas, an my breeze
is from de Lord.
An my craft, it foam de waters, es speed upon
my way,
Till it seems like was maxim bout hundr'd
miles day."
But the leader said "Be watchful; work an
struggle more an more;
Look for lots of Gains a-comin-look for breakers
on de shore!"
And one rose and said "I'm trabbelin' in de
steamboat OBJ Gods power,
An it seems like I was maxim bout hundr'd
knots an hour!
An my berth is all done paid for, an my direction
all is known,
Till our gospel steamer whistles for her landin'
near de throne"
And the leader said: "Be careful; you JUS watch
an work an pray,
Les your engine bus its boiler an you shipwreck
on dc way"
Then poor old woman rose up-bent and haggard
worn and weak,
And she leaned upon her crutches, and her tongue
was slow to speak,
And she said 81 up an started moro dan fifty

Then the leader said "Deres nothin' 'gainst de

They Never Married.

A remarkable romance, says the st.
Louis Gl0be-DemOerat, concerning old
Jacob Heinrich, the leader of the Econ
omites' celebrated communistic society
near Pittsburg, has lasted lifetime,
and will end only in the death of the
two characters involved. The heroine
is an old lady, the granddaughter of
Rapp, the founder of this singular COM
munity of Germans, which cannot be
paralleled in this or any other country.
Strangers who walked through the
grassgrown streets of Economy this
morning were for the time-being being
transplanted to typical German vii
lage. Quaint old people, quaint old
houses and costumes excited their con-
tinual curiosity, which was increased
when they entered the one-story brick
church, where few of the twenty aged
and feeble survivors of Rapp's 500 emil
grants, with many of the 800 of their
kitchen maids and farm hands, who are
not amenable to the society's strange
laws, were gathered for divine worship.
Across the centre of the church extends
narrow aisle with platform on each
end, one being occupied by two organs,
at which old Mr.. Heinrich and Miss
Rapp sat playing. Miss Rapp wore
costume which was startling for her
age. 1t consisted of purple gown,
a blue neckerchief, with red, blue and
green border, and mazarine blue
quilted Normandy bonnet. When the
singing of the opening hymn, accom-
panied by the organ playing ofour aged
hero and heroine, who have sacrificed
love and devotion to the cruel COM
munity law of celibacy, had been con-
cluded, Mr.. Heinrich walked across the
aisle to the opposite platform and began
the sermon of the morning. He sat
on his chair during its entire delivery.
Miss Rapp is about IS years of age.
When young she was lovely girl, re-
fined, highly educated, and possessed
of considerable musical talent. She
and Jacob Heinrich fell desperately in
love with each other, but of course
could not marry. They have for many
years lived in the same house-he in
one wing with several old male men,
bers of the society, while Miss Rapp,
with her women, resides in another
wing. As they sat side by side in
church this morning, the sympathetic
cords of the few persons present con-
versant with this secret romance were
awakened, and there was a feeling of
sadness as the religious services were
participated in by the aged lovers in
the quaintest, yet simplest and SINGER
est manner possible.

A Lecture ON Hasfy Marriages.

Laws a-massyl When I was young
twas different then. Why, when folks
was goin' to get married, they took
time and meditated upon it, and kind
er studied each other out and reflected
and considered, and when they did get
married-married from top to toe
they expected to stay married there
wasn't no talk of divorces then. They
knew beforehand that they was to 'hev
and to hold till grim death, and they
most usually did. But now young
fellow sees pretty gal, and asks her to
marry him, just as he'd ask her to take
walk, and she's ready-'Yes, sir, and
thank you too'-and they go and get
married, with no more realizing sense
of their responsibility than Cock Robin
has when he twitters to Jennie Wren
Well, pretty soon they 60 at it-she
finds she don't like his tobacco smoke,
and he don't like wife that can't do
anything but frizzle her hair and so it
goes from bad to worse, until at last
they'll get it, too. For what7 Why,

The Cuban Women.
Hacama Letter in the Chicago Nesos.

HdCdnd Letter IN the chicago Nea0S.
The Cubans are the cleanest people
regarding their dress I ever knew. A
stevedore will load molasses on vessel
whole week and you will hardly find
spot upon his white linen suit when
Saturday night comes. Somehow your
sense of propriety is not offended when
you see cash-boys, errand-boys and
keepers of all sorts in skin-tight, cloosly-
woven cotton shirts, as airy breeches
and slippers. Often, too, for change,
here will stand three or four negroes,
packers or boxers or something of the
sort, with bare feet, spotless white pan
falcons held by gay sash and with
naked, cleaning waists, arms and Shout
ders. But they all fit naturally into
these shop scenes and nobody faints
away but an occasional visitor out OF
those few wonderful American women
who are naturally Mortified at this, but
whose tea-party fortitude is equal to as
sisting in stripping character to the
skin-and under it. One class you
will miss in Cuba-not only in shops,
but everywhere else-is the women
workers. The most sensible and the
handsomest of women can be found &C.
cupying places of public trust in Amer
lean establishments and offices, and it is
not rare that these same women are
brighter mentally than those who en-
ploy them and in every respect truer
ladies than good proportion of females
who throng fashionable establishments
to pay out their money and fine airs
over those of their own sex who to-day
happen to be on the other side of the
counter, but who year hence may
have in every good, womanly way out
distanced them.
In all Havana but one establishment
was noticed where women are employed.
That was modiste's on Obispo street.
The young women here were scraggy
lot indeed. Women in Cuba are ladies,
washerwomen or demi-monde. The
shopping is done by the fair senoras
and senoritas in the afternoon, and one
will certasnly then see beautiful women.
They are not Tipping or trifing in their
purchases as in some countries. No
salesman would dare gossip with them,
or enter into their affairs. Nor do they
inform shop-keepers of their own or
their neighbors' intentions. They seem
to know just what they want and 60
straightway and get it. The turnouts
are very gay; thousands of women
meet, mingle and pass greetings, but
there seems to be an understanding
here that shop is not just the place
in which ladies should entertain one
another. This may arise from the
fact that Spanish women are well bred,
and well-bred women set some store
upon the home.

Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suf-
fering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark and airy places,
drink water, and sometimes plunge
into it. When dog has lost its appe-
tite, it eats that species of grass known
as dogs grass, which acts as an emetic
and purgative. Cats also eat grass.
Sheep and cows when ill seek out GER
tain herbs. An animal suffering from
chronic rhumatism always keeps, as far
as possible, in the sun. The warrior
ants have regularly organized ambu-
lanceS. Latreille cut the antennae of
an ant, and other ants came and cover
ed the wounded part with a transparent
fluid secreted from their mouths. If a
chimpanzee be wounded, it stops the
bleeding by placing its hand on the
wound, or dressing it with leaves and
grass. When an animal has a leg or
arm hanging on, it completes the am
putation by means of its teeth. A dog,
on being stung in the muzzle by Vi
per, was observed to plunge its head
repeatedly for several days into running
water. This animal eventually recov-
cred. A sporting dog was run over by
carriage. During three weeks in win
ter it remained lying in brook, where
its food was was taken to it. This
animal recovered. A terrier hurt its
right eye. 1t remained under counter,
avoiding light and heat, although it
habitually kept close to the fire. 1t
adopted general treatment, rest, and
abstinence from food. the local treat
ment consisted in licking the upper sur
face of the paw, which it applied to the
wounded eye; again licking the paw
when it becomes dry. Animals suffer-
ing from trumaic fever treat themselves
by the continued application of cold,
which M. Delaney considers to be
more certain than any of the other
methods. In view of these interesting
facts, we are, he thinks, forced to be-
lieve that hygiene and therapeutics as
practiced by animals may, in the inter-
est of Psychology, be studied with ad-
vantage.

away on that account. Moreover, the
poor people of the North Carolina
mountains are thousand-fold more
contented than the poor people of the
North. If man must be poor all his
life what can be of more use to him
than contentment? This is the great
difference between Northern and
Southern poverty. What does Tar
heel mountianeer care about strikers
What does he care because other people
are wearing underclothing7 He don't
care cent.
He bitches up his little two.year-old
speckled heifer to Democratic wagon,
hauls 40 cents worth of wood to town,
and goes home contented. Verify the

You could work here all day through

I am glad to read that you are good

in society which it might otherwise take
you years to secure. North Carolina

she is little short on wing shots.

that will not brighten you much if you
are used to loud snorts of melancholy.
The members of this band have now
perfected themselves to such an extent
that they play right along just as fluent
ly without their leader, and while he
up-ends his horn to pour out the juice
they take up the air and carry it along
in such way that you could not miss
the leader and they embellish all their
music and improvise so much that you
could not tell what tune they were
playing. Still, will do just as you
say about having the band down at the

What is the Normal Pulse?

1t is strange how very few people
know what their normal pulse is. They
know that the average pulse is about
seventy, and imagine that they are well
or otherwise, as their pulse approaches
or departs from this standard. 1t is
true that an average of all pulses would
give a result of about seventy beats, but
in no other physical popularity is their
such wide individual variation. l had
two students in my office the same time,
both strong and remarkably healthy.
young men. The normal pulse of one
forty seven and the other ninety-three.
This difference is unusual, few pulses
falling below sixty orrising above eighty
in healthy subject, but an unusually
slow or rapid pulse is no indication
whatever of disease, as is popularity
supposed to be the case Nose people
overestimate their pulse, as they often
count its beats when talking about the
matter, and it is fact we'll known to
physicians that the excitement of con-
versation will quicken the pulse from
five to twenty beats. The best time to
arrive at the true normal is shortly after
walkingin the morning, when the nerves
are unexcited.
